Fraternity Row maps to a single census tract in Gainesville, FL and houses 7,317 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 60%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
85% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Gainesville rate of 42.9%. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. Annualized rent equals 50% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 65 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $1,496, 15% above the Gainesville average of $1,296. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 1.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Gainesville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Robinswood and University Village South.
61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
